Undergrad program admission requirements(?)

[gcbitencourt]

Hey guys, i'm a new member

I'm planning to immigrate to Canada next year, start a Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy) and meet the necessary requirements to apply for PR

Currently I'm checking the websites of several canadian Universities, but I'm really confused because I can't clearly understand what are the requirements for admission for most of them. The ones that I sympathized most are U of Alberta and U of Calgary, correct me if I'm wrong, but as an International Student I need to show English + 4 courses of my choice? I really enjoy that option (plus the country specific requirements, but I already got them).

My grades (Senior Year) are: 86 English/80 Philosophy/80 Sociology/80 Geography/79 History/75 Portuguese/75 Biology/69 Chemistry/65 Physics/65 Math

Worst case scenario for Alberta/Calgary (if they do not consider Philosophy and Sociology): 79% average (best 5 courses)

With that in mind, my questions are:
1) I'm doing the wrong calculus? Do they use another formula?
2) Are my grades good enough for Alberta/Calgary?
3) Do you guys recommend any other university, not necessarily in Alberta, with this English + 4 Courses formula? Or any other University that I can be admitted to with my grades?

Thanks for taking your time

Hey there,

Calgary universities not very hard to get into (vs. Toronto).

Honestly, your grades are good, but you need to choose a school that most values your English and Philosophy scores most. Think British, small. I would choose Bishop's University in Quebec, which has an excellent reputation (Oxford U. Affiliate) or King's College in Ontario.

I wouldn't worry about calculus for your subject choice. Also they will only look at your top 6 scores I think. You have an OK chance of getting into Alberta.
